Hi I see many discussions with old dates. Can someone advise where can I get tick data for major futures for CME like S&P, Gold, Silver etc? I know tickdata.com is most expensive provider. Is there any alternatives? Thanks
You can try Rithmic via a number of trading apps, but I am not sure if you need this over a platform or stand alone. Thanks, Matt Optimus Futures There is a risk of loss in futures trading. Past performance is not indicative of future results.
I just need a downloadable data in CSV. Do not need a platform. I run data through our own back testing software. Trying Sierra Chart as they are saying they give 3 years or tick data, but unable to figure our how to actually properly export it tick by tick from the platform... I just do not want to spend $125 per symbol per year of tick data and looking for altenratives.

I did try those instrustions earlier myself. They do not have tick data for ES contracts after and export. It gives you random skipped data... A 3 months of tick data exported from TradeStation is 2GB file. From sierra you get small files that it opens in notepad everytime you try to export....
Well, that is a lot more affordable. All of their sample files are .omz extension. Do you have experience using their service?
I run across this website too. It looked scarrry to me because of the 1990s design. I second bellman; If you have experience with the quality of the data it would help, thanks
